    Boats in Pastel

    £535

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and atmospheric mid 20th century modernist pastel and gouache composition,  depicting boats docked at a harbour.

    Using a restrained colour palette comprising shades of black, blue and yellow, the mellow and muted tones  create an air of nostalgia in this piece.

    Loose brushstrokes though executed in a seemingly swift and unrestrained manner, are thoughtful and precise – wonderfully capturing the transient conditions of light and water.

    This pastel and gouache composition is housed beautifully in a wide-profiled light gilt (champagne) and silver frame. It is also glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting). The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of scuffing commensurate with its age. Please note that due to the glass there are areas of reflection in the photographs.

  • Fish & Flowers

    Fish & Flowers

    £455

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A characterful mid-century modernist style still life oil composition, painted onto canvas.

    At the heart of the painting lies a table setting adorned with a striking juxtaposition of elements: a fish and a bouquet of flowers. The fish rests atop a vibrant red cloth which surface is filled with creases and folds, lending depth and dynamism to the scene.

    The artist has skilfully reduced the composition down to angular blocks of contrasting colours, emphasising the inherent geometry of the scene.

    The colour palette is rich and vivid, lending a striking quality to the painting, and the expressive brushstrokes have been confidently and swiftly applied. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct form.

    This oil on canvas laid and onto board is housed in a well-suited wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has scuffs but this is in keeping with its overall style.

  • Portrait in Sepia

    Portrait in Sepia

    £520

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.

    With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture. Behind the figure appear several more heads, so we get a sense that she is perhaps standing amongst a crowd, but the artist has chosen her specifically as the protagonist of the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in original mid century gilt frame with linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Green Ball

    The Green Ball

    £850

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1966 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

    A group of mostly unidentifiable objects sit on a black and white surface, with one green ball punctuating the centre of the composition. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green in the middle, which draws our eyes to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

    This oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed wood frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very light wear but this suits its overall distressed style.

    Size: 66 x 75 cm (including frame)

    £405

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.

    Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves.

    The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A brilliantly executed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

    The artwork depicts a tabletop setting featuring an assortment of vegetables including carrots, radish, tomatoes, and a cabbage.

    Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.

  • Cradle

    Cradle

    £915

    Available

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A large and striking mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this composition, a series of geometric shapes in red, orange, yellow and white are set against a black background. This juxtaposition of the bright colours  against the black immediately captures our attention, encouraging us to analyse the shapes that have been cleverly applied to the canvas. A recognisable figurative shape appears, seemingly a parent cradling a baby. Although the shapes are distinctly large flat planes, within each of the planes there is visible texture. We see evidence of the artist’s palette knife, moving the oil paint around the surface and leaving areas of impasto.

    There is very interesting contrast between focus on formal elements (shape, colour and line) and the tender subject which the artist has chosen to capture.

    This large and masterful modernist oil with its clever composition and its rich and vivid palette would certainly make for a statement piece in any interior.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing but it suits the general style of the piece.

    An array of rich and uplifting colours as well as distinct energetic and intuitive brushstrokes fill the canvas, imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism.

  • Off to School

    Off to School

    £265

    Available

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely and endearing miniature oil on canvas depicting a scene of a pedestrian walkway on a fine summer’s day.

    A woman in the foreground can be seen walking with her 2 children to drop them off at school. They are holding flowers in their hands, that they’ve picked along their journey.

    Rich and saturated colours fill this energetic painting; and the short and textured brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of liveliness and joy.

    What’s special too is that the artist has uniquely enhanced the greenery portion by adding graphite detailing in a ‘scribbled’ manner, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to the trees.

    The painting is housed in a white card mount, and a green stained wood frame with a blue and gold inner wood border. The colours of the frame pick up on the colours within the painting beautifully, making it stand out even more. The work is glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the painting) to ensure its longevity.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £895

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An outstanding mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

    The painting captures a scene of two ballerinas surrounded by an abstract background. On the ballerinas, rhe artist’s brushstrokes are gentle and soft, reflecting a careful attention to detail. Intentionally working with a limited colour palette, the artist has reduced the area around the ballerinas to angular planes in different gradients of brown.. Details such as the small but striking red lips of the figures, as well as the layout of flat shapes and planes are typical of Lundqvist’s style.

    A richly textured and charming mid-century painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the composition presents a lively and scenic view of a balcony window, surrounded by a lush garden of vibrant flowers in bloom.

    There is an explosion of colours on the canvas – with bold and rich hues imbuing the painting with liveliness. The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes – using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a deep and ridged gilt frame with an inner white border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A very pleasant modernist oil street scene composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Stig Wernheden (1921-1997), whose works have been represented at public collections in Sweden including the Moderna Museet, Malmö Museum, Snuff & Match Museum, Ystad Art Museum and Malmö City Hall.

    The painting features a scenic and charming city surrounded by lush greenery. In the foreground, a group of figures are depicted on a pathway walking towards the city.

    Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist reconstructed the buildings into flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth.

    The painting evokes a soothing and relaxing quality, brought through the use of soft and precise brushstrokes, as well as a gentle palette of predominant cool light tones.   

    This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited wood frame with an inner silver window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Houses at Midnight

    Houses at Midnight

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A delightful modernist-style composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1998.

    This picturesque composition presents a night scene of a quiet neighborhood filled with houses. The scene is set under a beautiful blue sky, and a luminous crescent moon graces the night sky.

    The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness, yet skilfully capturing the stillness of the night. There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. Its ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek –  to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary deep and ridged silver frame that suits the painting very well. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
